Your Influence By: Matthew Modi
I Wonder What Would Happen.
I wonder what would happen if everybody stopped,
I wonder what would happen if all the movie stars left,
If everybody could stop thinking about if they’re at the top.
If there were no red carpet in Hollywood out west.
I wonder what would happen if all the rich and poor were equal,
I wonder what would happen if a millionaire lost his sleek private jet,
If we could stop whining, people!
If your video went onto a cassette.
I wonder what would happen if diamonds didn’t shine bright,
I wonder what would happen if all this were true,
If the skyscrapers didn’t gleam in the night.
Well, I think chaos would ensue.
Hear It!
Motorboat He pushes off, Waiting for the signal.
He starts to paddle, and he gains speed. Out of nowhere he is racing across the pool.
He points towards the water, Tense, he was ready to go.
He held his breath for days with a stern face.
He hears a horn and there is no waiting around.
Like a shark. He slices through the water without a sound. A ninja in his environment.
He dives out of the pool, He has won.
Hear It!
Canvas I stare at a blank canvas, My mind races, and illustrates the serenity.
And our work, will live on.
We, the human race will live on, For everyone to see.
I imagine it as a world; waiting for innovation, We are all painters,
I imagine a paintbrush interested but hesitant.
And we must work, and innovate.
I am the paintbrush,
To create art,
I can paint a masterpiece if I want.
To illustrate a blank canvas.
This world around me is a canvas,
I stare at what was once a blank canvas,
And I have the power to change it.
This canvas was never destined to be blank. Everyone in the world has the power to change it,
Hear It!
